Korg MSC-16S Environment
Sound Card Set for the Korg M1 series


The MSC-16S Environment is the last in the MSC M1 series, and features numerous sound effects, special effects, environmental noises and ambiences, and a few "normal" sounds.

This set offers 18 new waveforms of industrial noises, nature sounds, animal sounds, and city ambiences.

Weird FX noises abound, and so animal, human, and industrial sounds

There are also more "standard" sounds like bells, drums, synths etc.

A good sound set.
